    Oh man, all this vendor talk makes me wish I could get to the con a little earlier in the day.

    This is exactly why we need a smaller scale line of valkyries. I don't want to spend $200 on that thing. You might be able to convince me to spend $79.99 on one though.

    I think Gakken doesn't like UM and doesn't like the toy so he's seeing the glass half empty. The gripes about scale seem silly since we've all survived every other Transformers line EVER and it's not far off any way.

    Cylons! They're going to do a universe mash-up.

    So while my wife was using the computer and I was talking to her I picked up my YF-25 Prophecy toy and transformed it to GERWALK mode. She turned around at one point and I said "Look, it was an airplane, now it's half airplane, half robot." She frowned, "GERCOCK mode looks so stupid." I was actually a little proud of her for almost knowing the term and of course laughed pretty hard about the way she did butcher it.

    Having owned a C4, I find it unbelievable anyone would pine for one.

    Awesome. BAPE, EVA, and UM Toy version... great to see. Maybe I can skip hunting down an exorbitant priced legit BAPE now

    After six hours of being excited you should see a doctor... I learned that from a Cialis commercial.

    Saw it at SDCC, was not impressed.

    It's true, but I will say I was just handling my VF-25G and that thing is still fantastic so there's hope.

    Interesting, so I guess the next question will be... how long will it last
  14. jenius
    The question would be if you played with your toy would you still view the braces as unnecessary? In my case, the brace can be ignored in all modes if I want to just get one pose and call it a day. If I want to pose my toy for a while, like doing a photo shoot, and will be handling my toy quite a bit, the braces prove quite handy.

    You know what I'd love to do? Make a Macross pinball game. I'd cover all the series and use gashapon figures for props. You'd have to complete a mission from each series to unlock super dimensional multi-ball.

    I think even the folks saying they don't need one might have different expectations from people with similar toys saying they do. Let us know your thoughts.
  17. jenius
    It depends a little on how tight your specific toy is but you can generally enjoy the toy without the brackets but you'll find it a little more frustrating when posing it and things like that.

    What hours are the convention? I might be going to UCLA that morning and that would be a lot more appealing if I could also attend the con afterward.

    I think Kevin Smith said that the full-scale Falcon interior doesn't have a full scale exterior.

    These things seem trivial.

    Will UM be out in time for me to ship WJ with him?

    Here's how I would qualify it: For DYRL, the film works as a stand alone movie. Sure, you can say "it would work better if there was a true act 1" or something along those lines and it's true but there's nothing omitted from the story so entirely that you can't understand the events, can't appreciate the characters, or don't feel like there's some sort of a conflict and resolution. I would say that anyone totally lost by the way the story just jumps in isn't paying very close attention. It is quite possible that people never having seen Macross would say DYRL is good if not a bit hurried in its pacing. Of course people who know Macross will generally think DYRL is very good. For the Mac F movies, having a familiarity with the show is a requirement. Not having seen the show will likely lead to a healthy contempt of the movies. Having seen the show will lead to slightly less contempt.

    To Macross' credit, how the singing defeats the bad guys changes every show, that's what they do to try to keep it fresh while staying true to 'song' as one of the core principles, along with 'love triangle', and 'misunderstood bad guys'. What I thought was Frontier's weakest link was that the bad guys were bugs so they didn't have a way of really developing much in the way of personality. The Zentraedi were part of the fun of the original Macross. The Vajra really aren't part of the fun of Frontier. They tried to layer in some human baddies and some political intrigue but they did so pretty poorly. The movies basically take all the faults of Frontier and thrust them forward instead of resolving them.

    Well she did say "I'm going to be Sheryl Nome at this year's Comic-con" before denouncing the film. So, at least there's that... That didn't happen, I told her she had to pick a character where she wouldn't say "Well, I hated the movie I saw her in..." if someone asked. Just trying to be helpful because we all make this mistake from time-to-time, "cannon" is good for blowing chit up, "canon" is 'general standard'.

    But obvious bot parts are always okay on the bottom... Not on top.
